1. Nvidia’s earnings and infrastructure surge

Nvidia posted a strong quarter, with profitability driven by demand for its AI-focused datacenter chips. This performance has helped quiet, at least temporarily, fears that the AI boom is over-hyped. 

Beyond earnings, the company continues to drive the hardware backbone for AI—because models now matter less than the compute behind them. The message is clear: If you want to compete in AI, you invest in infrastructure.

2. Anthropic secures large strategic backing

Microsoft and Nvidia together are investing in Anthropic, the front-runner in enterprise AI models, with the deal signalling a broader trend of consolidation in the industry. 

Anthropic’s commitment to use Microsoft Azure and Nvidia’s hardware means the company is positioning itself as a full-stack AI player—not just model provider. For enterprises, this suggests fewer independent choices and more vertically integrated platforms.

3. Bubble concerns are not gone

Even with strong earnings and investment, some analysts argue that the fundamentals of many AI plays still don’t support current valuations. The recent pull-back in tech stocks including AI-linked companies shows market anxiety remains. 

The concern: if infrastructure spending and valuation growth outpace end-user adoption and monetisation, there could be a sharp correction. And with infrastructure build-out locked in, the downside may be deeper than many expect.

What it means for you

• For builders & founders: If you’re developing AI apps or services, now is a moment to secure infrastructure partnerships or optimise for hardware cost.

• For enterprise buyers: Be aware of vendor lock-in risk. With consolidation, you may have fewer alternatives and higher switching costs down the line.

• For investors: The hardware-play and compute-backbone of AI may be the biggest value shift over the next 2-3 years—not just models.

• For users: The AI features you see tomorrow may increasingly be enabled by fewer companies controlling both the models and the compute. That matters for privacy, choice and innovation.
